EDITORS COMMENTS
is a poignant and thought-provoking postcard illustration by George Ranstead, an amateur artist of the Great War, depicting a man of advanced years proudly standing at attention in a patriotic pose. The image, created circa 1916, serves as a poignant reminder of the continued recruitment efforts during World War One, as the need for more troops grew ever more pressing. The elderly soldier, with furrowed brow and determined expression, wears the uniform of a 1st World War recruit, his age belied by the military bearing he exudes. The caption beneath the image, "Called Up," underscores the theme of the print, a comment on the extended upper age limits for enlistment during the war. Ranstead's skillful brushstrokes bring the scene to life, capturing the essence of the era and the spirit of the men who answered the call to duty, regardless of their age. The postcard, part of the Mary Evans Prints Online collection from the Grenville Collins Postcard Collection, offers a unique glimpse into the sacrifices made by older men during the war, and the enduring patriotism that drove them to serve. The image of the elderly soldier, standing tall and proud, serves as a testament to the resilience and determination of the human spirit, even in the face of adversity. "Called Up" is a powerful reminder of the sacrifices made during the Great War, and the enduring spirit of those who answered the call to duty, no matter their age.
